Statistical Software Program
A statistical software program is a program or a tool that is majorly used to perform analysis of the collection of data, the organization of data, and the analysis and interpretation data. In this era, numerous statistical software programs are being used. Still, the one I have majorly used is the R statistical software program, which is an open-source software that is majorly used for statistical computing. Its high compatibility with other languages like Python and Java has led me to use this software for the majority of my statistical analysis.
Although I have used R, my experiences with it have been both pleasant and unpleasant. R has broken down the barrier of how hard the journey of statistics would have been were it not for the hands-on and practical experience it provides to apply the theoretical aspect of statistics through performing statistical tests and various visualizations. On the other hand, the steep learning curve of R has made it difficult for me to learn new ways of writing and executing operations in R.
Microsoft Excel is one of the computer programs that I have used to create graphs and charts. Its capability to handle large amounts of data and organize the data to create graphs and charts has made the experience so much better. However, when creating these visualizations, calculation errors may occur, which leads to wrong graphs and charts being designed, and this has been one of the worst experiences using Microsoft Excel.
While using StatCrunch, my primary concern would be the platform’s availability to individuals who are not students. Are these individuals able to access the data published in the platform and learn from the platform? Additionally, my other concern would if all the necessary ethics have been followed to the latter before the data has been posted on StatCrunch.
